What You Missed This Morning Photo Competition Winners!

First of all I want to thank the hundreds of people who went out and shared the magic of their morning ride with us over Christmas. The competition wasn't restricted to a particular type of camera this time, but it's amazing how far things have come in such a short time with camera phone technology. As we've seen, if you get the right light and composition you can capture some spectacular images.

I have to admit that the voting system to choose the winners was not ideal. Of course choosing the “best” photos is a subjective thing so the fairest thing to do is leave it up to the people’s choice (which inevitably turns into a social media popularity contest). However, it would have cost a lot of money in web development costs to create a voting system specifically for this contest which I could not justify.

In any case, I used the most fairest voting mechanism I could think of while trying to eliminate scamming and multiple votes. In the end I think we have some fantastic winning photos and I congratulate everyone who made it to the finals.

My Personal Favorites

Where are a few photos that made it to the finals but didn’t win which are personal favorites of mine. For this highly subjective achievement I’ll award each of you with a Rapha t-shirt (your choice of color).
